Iloilo is privileged to have public libraries open to the communities. Ilonggos can access free resources, including books, magazines, newspapers, e-books, audiobooks, and more. This enables the Ilonggos to pursue their interests, learn new skills, and stay informed, without having to spend money. However, some may be hesitant to pay a visit because of high-fare rates via Taxi or Apps and some may have difficulty in identifying what jeepney to ride going these libraries. The minimum fare is only P12 (traditional)-P14 (modern) pesos which is more budget-friendly, especially for students.
